I don't know if I should paint my speedy fins or just buy a set of ultrex or Rotas in white

Would cost less to paint your own wouldn't it? Buying Rotas would mean buying the rims + tyres...

About $400 to paint them vs $800 for a new set
I'm buying a new set of tyres after the track day. So that's not a problem. Then I have 2 sets of rims and tyres.

But in saying that 2 sets of rims is probably quite useless for me lol except for the week when I would paint them lol

You would have to be a masochist to have white rims IMO. I struggle to keep black wheels clean.

But for that brief time when they are clean after a wash before you drive, makes it all worth it! :lol:

On the right car I think they can work, very hard to pull off.

Just to update you guys, the guy im hopefully purchasing the wheel s from has been an absolute pain to get hold of, i msg'd him monday, he didn't get back to me till the following day and said he had someone esle interested and would get back to me if it falls through ( i said this was fine as my offer was a couple hundred less than what he was asking ) dont know if he was just saying this so i would offer more, but anyway, didnt hear from him for a couple days then, last night, well acutally about 12.45 this morning :shock:

he msg'd me to ask if im still interested, long story short,im going out to look at them tomorrow morning, so hopefully i ll have them on my car tomorrow

as soon as i do i'll be sure to put some pics up

To everyone who s suggesting to paint my current wheels, its a good idea, i'll certainly consider this depending on how the rotas look, cheers

Pretty sure there was a set of STI enkeis in white on p-wrx forsale. Might be worth looking at instead of repairing and painting a set? Or you going for more stance with the grids?

Cheers for the advice, i saw those wheels on p wrx, unfortunately sti's run 114.5 instead of 100 so they wouldnt fit my car, otherwise yeh they would look pretty sweet. Yeh kinda keen to go for more of a stanced look this time, as all my previous rims have been pretty standard offsets and widths, so yeh pretty keen for a new look

Just tell him to stop being an arse mouth and sell them as advertised. That'll bring him around I'd say.
